This is the best stout I have ever had! Extremely smooth and rich. My friends love it (but complain that they don't enjoy Sam Smith's Oatmeal stout, Murphy's or guinness any more). I've made this 5 times with good (repeatable) results. The only problem with this recipe is that a keg of it only lasts 2 weeks!
